We’ve got our dancing shoes on once again here at Cappers Info, and that means that it’s time for the NCAA Tournament picks to continue. Our next set of March Madness Bracket Predictions take us to the West Region, where the #13 La Salle Explorers and the #13 Boise State Broncos meet in the First Four.

West Region Picks: #13 La Salle Explorers vs. #13 Boise State Broncos

First Four Betting Lines
#13 La Salle Explorers +1.5
#13 Boise State Broncos -1.5
Over/Under 139

When we look at this game between the Explorers and the Broncos, we are immediately a bit perplexed due to the fact that both of these teams look awfully similar to one another. Neither one really won a ton of big games this year, and neither suffered many catastrophic defeats. In other years, these would be simply underwhelming resumes that would have been stuck in the NIT. That doesn’t mean that these aren’t good enough teams, though. La Salle is going to really basically be using just a total of four men to get the scoring done. G Ramon Galloway and G Tyreek Duren are two stars in the backcourt, and G Tyrone Garland can come off of the bench and contribute. The problem is that F Jerrell Wright, the fourth man of this bunch, is the only true big man that the Explorers bring to the table with C Steve Zack injured. Boise State doesn’t have the bigs to take advantage of this, but it does have its own guards that are a heck of a lot better as we see it than the La Salle guards. We love what G Anthony Drmic and G Derrick Marks bring to the table, and we think that they could both be in for 20+ point games against La Salle on Wednesday. Of all of the First Four games, this is the one that we are looking forward to the most. We think that Boise will march on and setup a great game with Kansas State on Friday.

The Washington Huskies and the Boise State Broncos are going to square off on the Las Vegas Bowl odds and betting lines. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our Las Vegas Bowl picks & predictions for football for what should be a great game on Saturday.

Las Vegas Bowl Picks: Washington Huskies vs. Boise State Broncos
Date: Saturday, December 22nd, 3:30 ET
Location: Sam Boyd Stadium, Las Vegas, NV
Las Vegas Bowl Betting Odds: Boise State -5.5
Washington vs. Boise State Live TV: ESPN

The Broncos have to get tired of the Las Vegas Bowl, knowing that this is the third straight year that they are coming to Sin City. That being said, this have won and covered both of the last two games against Pac-12 teams, and they have a great history of playing against the big conference boys. Washington though, has had a great under Head Coach Steve Sarkisian, as the team stuck around last year against the Heisman Trophy winner, QB Robert Griffin III and the Baylor Bears in the Alamo Bowl, and it pulled off the upset of the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 2010 Holiday Bowl as double digit underdogs in a dominating performance.

Bovada Sportsbook

The difference this year with the Broncos is that they aren’t nearly as good as they were in years past. Yes, they won 10 games again this year, but they weren’t nearly as dominating in doing so, especially with the losses to what turned out to be pretty average or above average Michigan State and San Diego State outfits. QB Joe Southwick is definitely not QB Kellen Moore by any stretch of the imagination, and if not for the defense, Southwick probably would have lost his job. It just doesn’t cut it to throw for just 2,466 yards and 17 TDs when you’re playing for a team that could have busted the BCS.

Meanwhile, the Huskies were a 7-5 team this year that played against a truly hellacious schedule. Not only did they play in the Pac-12, where they had to take on a number of fantastic teams, but they scheduled the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge as well. In spite of all of this, the club allowed just 353 yards and 23.8 points per game. The offense has shown its potential over the years, and RB Bishop Sankey and QB Keith Price could put a lot of points on the board in spite of the fact that the unit only scored 35 total touchdowns on the campaign. We definitely want the points on our side in this one, and we wouldn’t be surprised if this game ends in an upset.

The Las Vegas Bowl is one of the games on the college football bowl schedule this year, and today, I’m set to make my NCAA football pointspread picks for the ‘total’ in this clash. The Washington Huskies and the Boise State Broncos are going to do battle at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. Join me for my Las Vegas Bowl tips for this 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff that can be seen on ESPN.

I’ve got a real tough time with this ‘total’ in the Las Vegas Bowl, knowing that both of these teams have great defenses. The truth of the matter though, is that this is a game that should feature a ‘total’ in the high-30s, not the mid-40s. What really tips this one off the scales for me though, is that fact that neither offense has shown much of a pulse, really all season long.

2012 Las Vegas Bowl
Washington Huskies (7-5, 7-5 ATS) +5.5
Boise State Broncos (10-2, 6-6 ATS) -5.5
Over/Under 44

When you look at the games against the best teams that the Broncos played this year, you have to be very unimpressive and underwhelmed when push comes to shove. They only played five games all year long against teams that ultimately went on to bowl eligibility, and in those games, the average game reached a total of just 32.2 points per game. Heck, the Fresno State Bulldogs, who only scored 10 against this Boise State defense, averaged eight more points than that per game by themselves.

And it isn’t like Washington isn’t battled tested either. They played against one of the most brutal schedules in America this year, yet they still held teams down to just 353.0 yards and 23.8 points per game. Take out the four worst defensive outings of the year, three of which came against teams that have significantly better offenses than the Broncos do, and what’s left is nothing but teams scoring anywhere from three to 24 points against this unit. QB Keith Price really should have been able to do more this year than throw 18 TDs, which is about how many it felt like he threw during last year’s Alamo Bowl against the Baylor Bears alone. He might get two scores against this Boise State defense, but that’s going to be it in the end. There’s just nothing here that makes me think this game is going to get into the 40s without a lot of help from the defenses and the special teams units.

Washington vs. Boise State Picks & Tips: Under 44

The 2012 college football season continues this week, and here at Cappers Info, we’ll be looking at some of the best games on the docket each and every week, as we try to make the most money possible off of the CFB odds for the week. Join us on Saturday, as we make our Boise State Broncos @ Nevada Wolf Pack free picks and predictions for what should be a great clash on the gridiron.

Week 14 College Football Picks: Boise State Broncos @ Nevada Wolf Pack
Date: Saturday, December 1st, 3:30 ET
Location: MacKay Stadium, Reno, NV
CFB Betting Odds: Boise State -8
Boise State vs. Nevada Live TV: ABC

It definitely is no mistake that the ‘total’ in this game has been coming down all week long. Last year, there were just 40 points scored in this game, and the year before, the only reason that there were 65 points scored was because of a tremendously wild last six minutes of the game. This Boise State defense is no joke. Against a decent schedule this year, the team ranks eighth in the land in total ‘D’ and fifth in scoring. No one has dropped more than 29 against the Broncos in 2012. Nevada on the other hand, is just flying all over the place. The Pistol offense has scored at least 31 in every single game this season, and the defense has been a wreck, allowing 24 or more to virtually every team on the slate. Odds have it though, with as bad as the Boise State offense is, getting to 31 or more in this one would be enough for the Wolf Pack. This is the best defense that they have faced all year long though, and we don’t think that they are quite going to get there. Head Coach Chris Petersen won’t let his team lose this one, but it won’t get to the number.

Boise State @ Nevada Pick: Under 58.5

Week 4 College Football Picks: BYU Cougars @ Boise State Broncos
Date: Thursday, September 20th, 9:00 ET
Location: Bronco Stadium, Boise, ID
CFB Betting Odds: Boise State -6
BYU vs. Boise State Live TV: ESPN

A trap game here for the Broncos? It sure seems like it could be that way. Boise State’s offense has not exactly been impressive over the course of the first two games of the season, and we have to remember that last year, the hosts went 0-6 ATS on the Smurf Turf. This is going to be a tough game regardless of who the foe is, but the fact that this BYU team thinks that it can still contend for a spot in the BCS and that it put so much stock into this game might make it all that more dangerous. QB Riley Nelson is the better of these two quarterbacks, and to be quite honest, if you flip the names on the fronts of the jerseys with these two squads, the point spread probably wouldn’t change. The Broncos are just getting too much respect. BYU has the better of these two teams, and it will show it on Thursday.

Of all of the games on the Thursday 9/20 college football betting schedule, one of my favorite is the clash between the BYU Cougars and the Boise State Broncos. Join me for my Week 4 tips for this 9:00 p.m. ET kickoff that can be seen on ESPN.

BYU Cougars (2-1, 1-2 ATS) +6.5
Boise State Broncos (1-1, 2-0 ATS) -6.5
Over/Under 49

A heck of a lot of stock was put into this game by Head Coach Bronco Mendenhall and his staff, probably so much to the point that the club ended up getting beaten by the Utah Utes last week. Boise State and the Cougars both know that this is the biggest game of their respective seasons, and the loser of this one knows that it has just no chance whatsoever of getting into the BCS.

That’s why it could be a slow, chippy game in which a ton of time just comes melting off of the clock. Both of these teams play great defense, and both would rather run it than throw it, especially with Boise State and the way that it just doesn’t have all that much of a quarterback in Joe Southwick. It’s a short week for both teams, and there hasn’t been a lot that could possibly have been thrown into the game plan that couldn’t already be seen on tape either.

The fact that Boise State went 0-6 ATS last year at home is a testament to how inflated the school has become. However, what might be more notable is the fact that the ‘under’ is 8-3-1 in Boise State’s last 12 home games dating back nearly two full seasons. That’s the direction that we’re going in this time around, as the Broncos and Cougars won’t be able to get to 50 in this one.

Making sports betting picks is one of my specialties, and today at Cappers Info, I’m making my Friday night Football Tipster pick based upon the football trends and college football odds for the Boise State Broncos vs. Michigan State Spartans game on Friday, August 31st.

#22 Boise State Broncos (0-0, 0-0 ATS) +7
#13 Michigan State Spartans (0-0, 0-0 ATS) -7
Over/Under 46.5

Both Boise State and Michigan State are going to be dealing with brand new quarterbacks this year, as both QB Andrew Maxwell and QB Joe Southwick are raw. I’m just not wild over the fact that both of these quarterbacks have little clue what they’re doing under center, and they are both getting their feet wet by going against such strong foes.

Boise State has a history of hanging a lot of points on a lot of teams, but in the end, save for last year’s 35 points dropped on Georgia and the Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma, history doesn’t bode well for a ton of points. Now add in the fact that Michigan State has one of the best defenses in the Big Ten this year for good measure.

The ‘under’ is 7-3-1 in Boise State’s last 11 non-conference games, and we think that that is the way to go once again. Some brisk winds of 15-20 MPH are in the forecast, and that is only going to make life more difficult on both of these quarterbacks. The college football pick to make here is clear.

Boise State @ Michigan State Tips: Under 46.5

The Arizona State Sun Devils and Boise State Broncos will both be looking to make for great NCAA football picks this bowl season, as the two teams meet in the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl in Sin City on December 22nd.

MAACO Las Vegas Bowl Matchup: Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Boise State Broncos
MAACO Las Vegas Bowl Date/Time: Thursday, December 22nd, 8:00 ET
MAACO Las Vegas Bowl Location: Sam Boyd Stadium, Las Vegas, NV
MAACO Las Vegas Bowl Odds: Boise State -14
MAACO Las Vegas Bowl Total: 66
MAACO Las Vegas Bowl TV Coverage: ESPN, ESPN3.com

Last year, the only reason why Boise State wasn’t in the BCS is because of the fact that it couldn’t kick a field goal down the stretch against the Nevada Wolf Pack. The end result was that it lost the game, the WAC Championship, and a spot in the BCS. The good news though, is that it came here to Sin City and absolutely blew apart the Utah Utes 26-3 in a game that was never really close once the Broncos turned on the jets. This year, the story is basically identical. A very good TCU Horned Frogs team ran up against the Broncos on the Smurf Turf and beat them thanks to, once again, a missed field goal at the gun by Boise State.

The question is whether or not we should assume that the Broncos are going to have the desire to play in this game this year as well. We just don’t see why that won’t be the case, especially with an Arizona State team here that doesn’t even have a head coach to play for and doesn’t know who its coach is going to be next season as of the middle of December. The Sun Devils were a wreck defensively all season long, and this was the unit that really fell apart for this team down the stretch when the squad was beaten in each of its final four games to go from certain Pac-12 South winners to not even having a chance of getting into the league title game going into the last weekend of the season.

This is the final game in the illustrious career of QB Kellen Moore, who has thrown for over 14,000 yards and 140 TDs in his four years in Boise. He has 49 career wins and would love to set the record for a starting quarterback at an even 50 before he leaves for the NFL. The Broncos weren’t quite as good around him this year as they were a year ago we tend to think, though there is still no shame in the fact that Boise State outscored its opponents 43.2-18.2 on the average game. That 25 point margin of victory is amongst the biggest in the nation, and it is why this team has a great chance to finish up the season ranked in the Top 5 in the country in spite of the fact that it was overlooked for the BCS.

In the end, the way that this team played a season ago in this game tells us that there is going to be no reason to expect a letdown this time around either. This is a worse Arizona State team that has to be down psychologically in a big time way, and the end result is going to be another three score win for the Broncos, who should have a huge following in their final game before going off to the Big East next year.

For the college football betting fans of the mid major programs, this is the big time bowl bash for you! The Las Vegas Bowl features two of the best teams from across the country, both of which happen to play in smaller conferences. Though both will be upgrading in recent years into better leagues, they're both still crying for more respect. However, both the Boise State Broncos and Utah Utes can't be winners on Wednesday night in Sin City. This is a hefty set of bowl odds facing the men from the Smurf Turf in this one, and we have all of the Las Vegas bowl news and notes that you need to know before making your Las Vegas Bowl picks on the game for Wednesday night!

Las Vegas Bowl Matchup: Utah Utes vs. Boise State Broncos
Date: Wednesday, December 22nd, 8:00 ET
Location: Sam Boyd Stadium, Las Vegas, NV
Las Vegas Bowl Line: Boise State -17
Over/Under 58

Utes Notes: Utah was having a fantastic season and was ranked in the Top 10 in the country this year before falling victim to the TCU Horned Frogs at home in a loss that really seemed to take all of the wind out of their sails. They lost the very next game to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and were removed from having any chance of going to the BCS. This is perhaps the luckiest draw for any of the 70 bowl teams this year, as Utah still gets a chance to play a premier team in a big time, standalone bowl spot. The problem that the Utes have on Wednesday is that QB Jordan Wynn is going to be sitting out with a should injury that he suffered in the Holy War against the BYU Cougars in the regular season finale. Backup QB Terrance Cain, who was a starting quarterback for this team as a youngster, came in and went just 2-for-7 for eight yards with two picks, but he was responsible for claiming the 'W' in the game. Cain knows what he is doing both as a starter and a backup though, and he played well when Wynn was injured earlier in the season, throwing for six scores and no INTs in big time wins against lesser opponents from the Mountain West. The running game is going to be key to keep the Boise State offense off of the field. RBs Matt Asiata and Eddie Wide both put up subpar numbers this year, but when combined, they did roll for over 1,300 yards. This defense is also going to have to force some stops against one of the most feared offenses in the country. The Utes ranked No. 22 in the land in total 'D' at 319.7 yards per game and averaged 19.8 points per game allowed to boot. However, these numbers are down tremendously in the second half of the season. From October 30th through the end of the year, Utah allowed a stunning 29.6 points per game, something that Head Coach Kyle Whittingham really needs to make sure improves for the Las Vegas Bowl.

Broncos Notes: It was supposed to be a banner season for Boise State this year, but after losing ground for most of the regular season thanks to a lousy schedule and a devastating overtime loss to the Nevada Wolf Pack, its BCS dreams were shattered to bits and pieces. The argument absolutely could be made that the Broncos were hosed by the BCS, as their one loss came against a one loss Top 20 team on the road, as opposed to the Arkansas Razorbacks, who lost twice, including once at home to a three loss team. There is a big question whether Head Coach Chris Petersen really has his boys ready to go in this one, though there were clearly no ill effects the week after the Nevada loss. The Broncos came back and rolled over the Utah State Aggies in the home finale 50-14 the very next week. Though these numbers are really courtesy of this weak schedule, the Broncos ranked No. 4 in the land both in total offense (521.4 yards per game) and total defense (264.1 yards per game). Outscoring any combination of 12 foes by 33.1 points per game is impressive as well. QB Kellen Moore is going to fall short of 4,000 yards this year, as he has 3,506 yards and 33 TDs against five picks this year, but this is going to be a crucial game in his Heisman Trophy campaign for next season. Moore is going to be one of the big time favorites to capture the Heisman in 2011, and he can make a big time statement in this game, his last with a number of the heroes for the Broncos over the years. RB Doug Martin, RB Jeremy Avery, WR Titus Young, and WR Austin Pettis all had at least nine trips to the end zone this year, and these four men combined for 240 points between them, more than a ton of teams in the country scored over the course of the year.

The Final Word: Don't be all that surprised if the Utes hang in this game for a long, long time. There is no doubt in our minds that the Broncos are the superior team in this game. If they want to, they can win this one by 30. However, we really aren't so sure that they have any care to be here in Sin City. The Utes are going to embrace this underdog roll, and the longer they can stick around in this one, the more the crowd is going to get on their side as well. Boise State will probably pull out the win, but Utah is doing to beat the Las Vegas Bowl spread in this one.

Las Vegas Bowl Free Pick: Utah +17

Matchup: Louisville Cardinals at Rutgers Scarlett Knights
Date: Friday, November 26th, 11:00 ET
Location: Rutgers Stadium, Piscataway, NJ
Game Line: Louisville -3.5
Over/Under 48

Two teams fighting for bowl eligibility square off Friday morning in Piscataway when the 5-6 Louisville Cardinals take on the 4-6 Scarlett Knights. First-year HC Charlie Strong has rejuvenated a Louisville program that was moribund under Steve Kragthorpe, although the record may not not say as much. Of Louisville's six losses, only one has been by more than one score and the Cardinals have been giving teams a game effort. On Saturday, the Cardinals played a slugfest of a game against Big East Rival West Virginia, giving the Mountaineers all they could handle in a 17-10 loss. Louisville's defense held West Virginia to just 261 total yards and sensational RB Noel Devine to only manage 58 yards on the day. QB Justin Burke got the start in place of the injured Adam Froman and had trouble moving the ball, completing just 50% of his passes 145 yards and an interception on the afternoon. Froman looks like he will get the start on Friday, but don't be surprised if Burke is the quarterback. Meanwhile, Rutgers continues to struggle, having lost four straight with only one conference win on their resume. Against Cincinnati, the story was the Scarlett Knights' inability to stop Cincinnati's offense through the duration of game. The Bearcats racked up an incredible 661 total yards on HQ Greg Schiano's squad in their 68-39 route of the Scarlett Knights. QB Chas Dodd had one of his best days on offense for the Scarlett Knights, completing 19 of 20 passes for 335 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss. WR Mark Harrison was the primary target of Dodd and had the game of a lifetime for Rutgers, catching 10 passes for 240 yards and four touchdowns on the afternoon.

Matchup: West Virginia Mountaineers @ Pittsburgh Panthers
Date: Friday, November 26th, 12:00 ET
Location: Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA
Game Line: Pittsburgh -3
Over/Under 39

The Backyard Brawl will go a long way in determining the Big East title on Friday afternoon when 6-4 Pittsburgh Panthers host the 7-3 West Virginia Mountaineers. On Saturday, Pittsburgh gutted out a tough 17-10 road win over the South Florida Bulls. QB Tino Sunseri didn't put up dazzling numbers for the Panthers, but was good enough to get Pitt the win. Sunseri completed 11 of 16 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' victory. RB Dion Louis also helped contribute to the win by carrying the ball 22 times for 105 yards and a touchdown. PItt's defense was once again stout, holding USF to less than 300 yards. Meanwhile, the Mountaineers scored a close victory themselves, a much needed 17-10 win over Louisville that stops WVU's recent skid. West Virginia's offense was held in check throughout the game by Louisville with QB Geno Smith only completing 9 of 20 passes for 133 yards rushing for just 20 yards on 11 carries without notching a touchdown. RB Noel Devine struggled as well, rushing for only 58 yards and touchdown on 23 carries. West Virginia's defense won them the game this afternoon, holding Louisville's offense to a scant 171 total yards.

Matchup: Auburn Tigers @ Alabama Crimson Tide
Date: Friday, November 26th, 2:30 ET
Location: Bryant Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL
Game Line: Alabama -4.5
Over/Under 58

The most anticipated regular season game of the year will take place Friday afternoon in the great state of Alabama when the 9-2 Alabama Crimson Tide take on the 11-0 Auburn Tigers. Although there is a whirlwind swirling around the possible ineligibility of Tigers' QB Cameron Newton, the Tigers are poised to make their first ever BCS Title Game if they can defeat arch-rival Alabama on Friday. Under the tutelage of OC Gus Malzahn, Newton has established himself as the best player in all of college football and would be the overwhelming favorite to win the Heisman Trophy if not for the eligibility concern. The last time college football betting enthusiasts saw Auburn was two weeks ago when the Tigers defeated the Georgia Bulldogs 49-31. Georgia gave Auburn all they could handle for three quarters before the tigers put them away in the fourth. Newton once again put together a fantastic game, completing 12 of 15 passes for 148 yards with two touchdowns and an interception while also carrying the ball 30 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns. Defensive guru Nick Saban will look to do what no other team has done this season in shutting down Newton. Alabama has had virtually two weeks to prepare for Auburn after walking through the motions in a 63-7 win over FCS Georgia State last Thursday night. Alabama's starters only played the first half and put up the numbers you'd expect in scoring 42 first half points. QB Greg McElroy completed 12 of 13 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns. RB Mark Ingram carried the ball 12 times for 86 yards and a score and WR Julio Jones caught seven passes for 86 yards and two TDs in the blowout win.

Matchup: Colorado Buffaloes @ Nebraska Cornhuskers
Date: Friday, November 26th, 3:30 ET
Location: Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE
Game Line: Nebraska -16.5
Over/Under 50.5

The 9-2 Nebraska Cornhuskers will look to keep their hopes for a BCS at-large bid alive on Friday afternoon when they host the 5-6 Colorado Buffaloes for possibly the last time. The meeting will be bittersweet as there are no plans for the two to continue to play each other after Nebraska moves to the Big 10 next season. Nebraska will look to score a win in their last regular season Big 12 game after falling 9-6 to Texas A&M last week. The Cornhuskers have been the center of controversy during the week after reports that QB Taylor Martinez had quit the team and that DC Carl Pelini had shoved a photographer on the field after the game was over. The hopes of Nebraska's offense rest on Martinez and the status of his ankle as the offense doesn't click unless Martinez is under center. Against the Aggies last week, Martinez was banged up most of the game and put up one of his worst games of the season, completing just 11 of 17 passes for 107 yards and an interception and only managing 17 yards rushing on 11 carries. As for Colorado, the Buffaloes have won back-to-back games since the firing of former HC Dan Hawkins. Colorado got big gains from QB Cody Hawkins and RB Rodney Stewart to top Kansas State 44-36. Hawkins completed 14 or 25 passes for 202 yards and three touchdowns while Stewart rushed for 195 yards and two touchdowns while also throwing a 23 yard touchdown pass.

Location: Autzen Stadium, Eugene, OR
Game Line: Oregon -19

The 10-0 Oregon Ducks will aim to keep their undefeated season and BCS Title Game berth alive Friday night when they host the 7-3 Arizona Wildcats. College football bettors last saw Oregon two weeks ago when the Ducks squeaked out a narrow 15-13 win over the California Golden Bears. Oregon's offense had their least effective performance of the season in Berkeley, managing just 317 total yards against Cal. QB Darrin Thomas completed 15 of 29 passes for 155 yards and a score in the win, while Heisman Trophy contender LaMichael James could only muster 102 yards on 31 touches. Oregon's previously maligned defense came up huge for the Ducks in the victory, holding Cal to just 193 total yards of offense and completely shutting down the Cal passing attack, with Cal QB Brock Mansion mustering just 69 yards passing on 10 of 28 completions. An Oregon win against Arizona also clinches the Ducks at least the Pac-10 Title and an appearance in the Rose Bowl.

The #3 Boise State Broncos look to keep their undefeated season and shot at a BCS Title alive when they travel to in-state rival Idaho to take on the 4-5 Vandals in Moscow this Friday night. Boise State has thoroughly dominated all WAC opponents this season, combining to outscore foes 198-27 in four games. Last week, Hawaii was the latest opponent to get steamrolled by the Broncos, with the Broncos racking up a 42-7 win to move themselves to 8-0 on the season. Boise State rolled up an eye-popping 737 yards of offense on the Warriors defense with Heisman candidate QB Kellen Moore accounting for most of the damage. Moore completed 30 of 37 passes for 507 yards for three touchdowns and threw two interceptions in the romp, with WRs Austin Pettis, Tyler Shoemaker, and Titus Young being the primary targets. As for Idaho, the Vandals defense must improve on their performance against Nevada if they have any prayer of knocking Boise State from the ranks of the unbeaten. The Vandals gave up an astounding 844 total yards of offense to the Wolfpack in their 63-17 defeat last Saturday. On offense, Idaho put up respectable numbers, accounting for 339 total yards, but four turnovers hurt the Vandals chances of hanging close with the Wolfpack. QB Nathan Enderle completed 15 of 34 passes for 224 yards and a touchdown in the loss, while the rushing attack could only muster 68 total yards.
